We have not bene defeated in Iraq, what we are suffeirng is a loss of political will in Washington. I guess you missed the stories where insurgent groups have joined the politcal process and are now helping hunt Al Queda. Our losses in Iraq are the lowest on any major war in history. 3600 dead in 4 years is very light. By comparison US Doctors kill nearly a quarter million (200,000+) Americans a year so since the war started 3600 Americans have died in combat and 800,000 have died via malpractice.

Well yes and no the 3600 are the ones killed at the point of contact once they are removed from there as wounded and then die they are no longer considered as a war casulity,tricky little bastards ain't they.
Yes I have read the STORIES which to the greatest extent is what they remain only stories,put out today gone tomorrow never verified,we have the worst reporting in Iraq of any conflict we have been involved in,for you see my friend they still blame the defeat in Nam on the press,never again they vowed will the press or media ever be permitted to actuly report the truth of whats going on nor the people see the real death and destruction that we have created.Lost the political will in Washington you say,they have been at it for 6 years,congress has given them everything they ask for (we wouldn't want to be call unpatroitic would we),remember Bushs party has been in power all during that time,no if we are there for the next 20 years it will still end up the same way.
You lost me on the malpractice as there is no bearing of one upon the other unless you are implying that doctors kill by mistake while in this war the killing is intentional..
Strange its a well proven fact Al Queda never existed in Iraq until we attacked them,you see we have to bame it on something probably the horses and donkeys in Iraq are considered Al Queda much like the old head count system used in Nam where if they killed five they multiplied it by four to infate the process,its called winning the hearts and the minds..
